Hi All,
Propstrike and TrollyAux
The article and those pictures are just excellent along with the video. I feel it is such a shame that he is only selling due to the loss of his son and has no legacy now to leave behind but what a gent many thanks for the postings both.

Is the destination(s) of the airframes known yet? I read the 'on their way to Europe may be UK' rumours in the Summer.
Surely if several are to be restored they will end up at separate facilities?
I'm sure that 2 seater would be the first on any list.

BTW, interesting that AOPA, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, wrote this piece.
Not their main mission, but I suspect with the CAF beceomming more visible and closer ties to AOPA it is brining more attnetion to warbirds to community

Yes I had read that thanks. '6 Buchons to Europe' but I think that even a ARCO or a Meir Motors would be pushed to restore that lot!

Well, it all depends on the timeframe chosen by the owner. If one is fully restored, sold, another one restored after the sale it would be possible for either of them.
I doubt there is a market for all of them at the same time.
